Pun(n)y People
Hokay. So..
Finals are finally over. Chemistry flunked. Biochem is still hanging by a string and genetics will never see the light of day. Yea, i'm stupid for cursing my grades this early of the month, largely attributed to the fact that i've been staring at the computer screen than my notes, so what the hey. Oh, talking about notes, a few weeks ago, some sadistic human being hung a sign above the toilet entrance which read "Going to the toilet should not be the reason for you to part with your notes". Anal (pun intended) huh? Imagine anyone wanting to take a toilet break had to be bogged down by thoughts of 'wasted time'. However, a few days later, the sign went missing. Guess it pissed (pun intended again) some individuals off. True that.
Another thing. Remember our M'sian idol season which ended a couple of months ago? Ok, i'm not in the position to comment on this since i wasn't in the country, but i presume, it was pretty "toned-down" wasn't it? No much hype. No much hullaballoo. And where the heck is Jac now? Where are her public appearances, music videos and singles? I mean, where is our IDOL?? That brings me to the point : S'pore idols are idolised even before they are crowned idols" With the SI finals a few days away, there has been so much media coverage and publicity moves to promote the even itself that the final two contestants, Taufik (a malay!) and Sylvester are now, practically worshipped by their fans. Yes, they have already a fan base. And unlike our m'sian idols, there's a 50-50 chance for either one to clinch the title. So, the competition is really stiff. Even TCS actors are coming out to show their support. THAT is how big the hype is down here. I think in a small island like s'pore is, anything tends to be blown out of proportion in relative the size of the country and it's women. How interesting.
